Partial Link Text : using the partial value of visible text of an anchor element
Class name : using Class name property of the element
Tag name : using Tag name property of the element

Tips on using Selectors

ID : use ID if available, unique and consistent

CSS Selectors : If unique ID’s not available

XPath : If CSS Selectors can’t be used

Thanks for the session Raghav. I am facing issue with Relative Locators - toLeftOf and toRightOf. It returns "NoSuchElementFound" exception. Whereas, the same element works fine with other relative locators. Not finding a solution after debug and how can we fix such kind of issue?
